#LePen and her party embezzled som $8 million dollars (AUD) over 12 years and should rightly be punished. That a campaign is being mounted by her party which claims ‘democracy has been killed’ is just a implausible smoke screen. Considering that a member of a board can be prevented from holding a similar position for any number of years following a conviction of embezzlement, why shouldn’t a politician be banned from holding office for the same conviction? The #RN is engaging in typical right-wing crazy logic to foment ‘anger’, ‘rage’ and divide the #French electorate in the hope for power..

“ The so-called fake jobs system covered parliamentary assistant contracts between 2004 and 2016, and was unprecedented in scale and duration, causing losses of €4.5m (£3.8m) to European taxpayer funds. Assistants paid by the European parliament must work directly on Strasbourg parliamentary matters, which the judges found had not been the case.

Le Pen will be able to retain her current post as a member of the French parliament for Pas-de-Calais, but will not be able to stand again in a future parliamentary election for the duration of her ban on running for office.”
